Have you been here?

Amid 32 acres of purple jacaranda and yellow gulmohar trees, this fort-style hotel recalls the days of the Rajputs, with architectural details like blue tile and brass doors. "The grounds are beautiful. It's as if you're at your own private palace." But it's "a bit far from the center of town." Accommodations are in clustered buildings or stand-alone luxury tents; the former have gold-leaf murals and sunken baths, the latter teak floors and walled gardens. "Staff thought of what we needed before we realized it ourselves." Surya Mahal serves "outstanding and addictive" Asian, European, and Indian dishes, accompanied by live music and dance.
